Donald Trump recently announced, alongside El Salvador's far-right president Nayib Bukele, that they will not be returning Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Maryland father who was accidentally deported to a dangerous prison in El Salvador. This situation reflects extreme disregard for justice, especially since the Supreme Court has ruled that the U.S. must facilitate his return.
Abrego Garcia was falsely accused of being a gang member and should never have been deported, as admitted by the Trump administration due to an "administrative error." When asked about his return, Bukele dismissed the question by implying that Abrego Garcia might be a terrorist and refused to release him, claiming that they don't want to accept criminals back into their country.
It's crucial to note that Abrego Garcia is not a criminal; he has been targeted by gangs in El Salvador. An immigration judge ruled in 2019 that he could not be deported due to these threats against his life. Trump's focus seems to be on maintaining an image of strength for his supporters, regardless of the truth or the consequences for an innocent man. This situation calls for condemnation to protect our values and rights.

Can anyone say "crimes against humanity"? That's exactly where these two presidents seem to be heading with their actions regarding Abrego Garcia.
